It's true! Not all debt is bad debt. I don't recommend getting debt to buy consumer goods (clothes, shoes, cosmetics, etc). However, secured debt for investment purposes is a great way to go much further, faster. That's how the wealthy build wealth and accelerate growth. Here's an example:⁠
⁠
You borrow 80% for the purchase of an investment property at 4% and after you put in tenants and pay all property expenses, including your loan, you're still cash-flowing. Your tenant is paying down your debt through their rent and you're making money off the money you borrowed. Additionally, your loan interest payments are tax deductible! That's why I LOVE this kind of debt.⁠

Are you in a rut? Going through the motions? Checking off the to-do list just because that’s what you’re supposed to do?

If reading that sentence made your heart sink in recognition, or you breathed a sigh of relief that someone else said it, know this: you are not alone.

Even in a season where we are surrounded by reminders to be thankful, overwhelm is real. You’re doing and balancing a lot.

But, there’s good news.

We’re here for you. We’ve been right there in your shoes. And we’ll be right here, with our hands reaching out, until you’re feeling fabulous, fun, and right on track.

But where do we start?

When I feel stuck, I focus on things that I know have a HUGE impact:

💜 I make time for daily pleasure breaks -- moments of fun, delight and/or self-care which never fail to revive me. When we're in a major rut, it's easy to forget to do this (or gasp! think we're too busy), but that's when we need pleasure breaks the most!

💜 I choose a new, fresh goal - a vacation I’ve always wa...

Many people think it takes money to make money. They don't think they can get into real estate (or do as much as they'd like) because they feel limited by their funds or lack thereof.

The truth is that it does often take money to make money in real estate, BUT it doesn't have to be your money. You just need to know how to access money - OPM (Other People's Money).

This Wednesday at 5:00 pm, I'm hosting a free webinar with the amazing Cheyenne Burnett of Get Fundable "3 Insider Banking Secrets Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know."

In this webinar you'll learn how a proven insider banking secret will get you up to $1,000,000 (1 million!?!) for your deals using unsecured, stated-income, business credit lines at prime +0.5 to 2 points from top-tier banks in as little as 120 days WITHOUT NEEDING collateral, tax returns, or financials (or hitting up your rich Aunt Mabel!)

Economically, this has been a very fraught time. Over 22 million people in the U.S. filed unemployment claims since the COVID pandemic began. 200,000+ businesses closed down permanently. While we seem to be coming out of the pandemic, the economic fallout is far from done. My heart is breaking for those who are relying only on their one job for income and who are struggling financially right now.⁠
⁠
The key to survival in this world is economic resilience. What gives you that? Multiple streams of income... especially hard asset-backed streams of income through real estate. ⁠
⁠
If you haven't started real estate investing yet, it's definitely not too late. In fact, this might be THE BEST TIME to learn how to invest in real estate. I predict there will be more opportunities to invest than ever before in our lifetimes. ⁠

Interest rates are incredibly low due to the Federal Reserve's attempt to stem negative effects from the pandemic and stimulate growth. This is what it means for you as a real estate investor:⁠
⁠
- When you're borrowing money, you are borrowing it at sometimes less than the cost of inflation right now. You can use OPM (Other People's Money) for next to nothing.⁠
⁠
- There is a record-low supply of homes for sale, and homebuyers are facing competitive bidding wars. The low-interest rates are also helping to drive up prices.⁠
⁠
- The low-interest rates make refinancing particularly attractive. In 2020 refinancing activity reached a 17 year high. Savvy investors are doing cash-out refinances (a non-taxable way to access cash from the equity in your home) to have funds available for more investing.⁠
⁠
If you can find the right property at the right price, low-interest rates make buying with leverage particularly great right now!

Back in 2005, Candace Bushnell (the author who brought Sex in the City to life) told an interviewer “Women with money and women in power are two uncomfortable ideas in our society”. 

Jimmy Choos & NYC skylines aside, Bushnell had a point. Women are bombarded with limiting beliefs about money from childhood on - from media, movies, magazines, and, often, our own families. 

But, you? You have the opportunity to interrupt that cycle for your family. Real estate offers the opportunity to step through the door of investment opportunity. 

The United Nations found that when we economically empower women, we find improved productivity and economic diversification. The world is better when women have the money and power that Bushnell pointed out as uncomfortable.

Inside the Real Estate Investor Goddess program, we tackle the tough topics with support and community. A few days ago I shared a FB Live on Women, Power and Money -- two things we need to do to get comfortable with having more pow...

Interest rates are at record lows. Right now, when you're borrowing money you're often borrowing money at less than the cost of inflation. Now is an incredible time to get started in real estate investing! Here are 5 things you should do before you invest to set yourself up for success...⁠

There are countless reasons we want to get into real estate investing. They may include to increase our income, to spend more time with our family, and to have more time in general. There are so many benefits, but one big excuse keeps many women from being in the game.

This third most common excuse I hear from women is that they don't want to be a landlord. They fear getting late-night calls about the toilet being clogged, asking to check the fuse box, leaking pipes, and infestations. They fear having to ever evict anyone. They fear having a nightmare tenant that makes the whole process distasteful.

The wonderful thing about real estate investing is that there are SO MANY WAYS to do it! It's not one-size-fits-all. And guess what? You can invest in real estate, having your money working for you, WITHOUT dealing with the 3 T's: Tenants, Toilets, and Termites. And, these strategies can be pursued at a wide range of price points.

 Okay metaphor time! 😍 If financial stability is like a table, your income streams are the legs of the table. Most people are taught to have a table with one leg, or one source of income, and that's their job. However, true financial stability is when you have multiple legs on your table, or multiple streams of income- mostly passive. Real estate is one of the best ways to give you that because it gives you passive income streams that are not connected to your time. So each investment gives you one leg of your table that is creating income that is not connected to your time, energy and effort. (This is how the financially free become so!)⁠

If you want to see more commas in your bank account, add more legs to your table!

Modern women are fast-paced women who juggle their time between family, career, and friends. I always ask women who join my community -- what's the biggest challenge you face with regards to real estate investing? The #2 biggest challenge is time. I get a ton of responses saying: "I am stuck because I am a mother, I don't have time," or "I am feeling burned out with my career, I think I don't have time to do real estate."

That is the 2nd BIGGEST EXCUSE women use for not getting into real estate investing:

"I DON'T HAVE TIME"

It seems like a valid excuse -- people imagine that there's a tremendous amount of time needed to find and purchase a property, rehab a property, find a tenant, manage tenants, etc.

And sometimes those things are needed, but not always. The great thing about real estate investing is that there are many ways to invest -- quite a few of which require little to no time!
